182: Phantom demon?
The crowd fell silent for a moment, and suddenly a trembling voice rang out: "Daisha!"
The bald man was terrified, looking at his daughter's abdomen stained red with blood, his body involuntarily retreating...
Daisha turned her face, which wore an eerie smile, toward him, her mouth opening slightly: "Sir, are you... afraid of me?"
"No! You are not..." the middle-aged man shouted, but before he knew it, a wisp of pale yellow mist drifted over and enveloped him;
As if scorched by the scorching sun, in a matter of seconds, his corpulent body turned into a charred corpse...
"You damn... you are really courting death!" Commander Feng finally couldn't hold back anymore;
He had originally wanted to see what the newcomer was up to, but he hadn't expected her to start killing right away!
Right under his nose, killing someone he had invited... wasn't this stepping on his face and grinding it into the dirt?
So he reached out his hand in a virtual grasp, and a large energy hand suddenly formed around Daisha, mercilessly clenching her in its palm!
"Commander Feng." Daisha didn't seem flustered at all, speaking again: "This is not your way of hospitality... Let me guess, is it because of this gentleman?"
Her dead, silent gaze turned toward Chu Yuan.
Chu Yuan asked curiously: "Acquaintances? In cahoots?"
"..." Commander Feng's mouth twitched, and he hurriedly defended himself: "We are indeed acquaintances, but there is absolutely no collusion! She is just a lunatic; we just happened to collaborate once before..."
Actually, it was no big deal, but the word 'collusion' sounded... too unpleasant.
Chu Yuan was noncommittal: "Since you know her, why is she here causing trouble today? Is she here for me?"
Commander Feng shook his head: "I'm afraid she doesn't know your identity yet..."
During their conversation, Daisha remained clenched in the palm of that large energy hand;
Yet the rest of the people in the banquet hall seemed to be possessed, lining up and walking outside, after which there was no sound.
The shape of the door resembled a giant mouth, swallowing all living things and light... Faint roars could be heard, from very far away...
Chu Yuan tapped the table lightly;
Thud~
The dull sound washed over the entire hall, and the footsteps of the people walking out stopped immediately!
After looking at each other, they immediately remembered what had just happened; and so they began to scream in panic again...
"Phantom Demon! It's the Phantom Demon!"
"Commander Feng! Help! Help! Kill her..."
"..."
Daisha seemed somewhat surprised that these people had broken free from her control. She didn't care about the commotion and looked seriously at Chu Yuan: "Sir, please do not stop their atonement."
Pale yellow mist drifted in from outside the door, seemingly as a deterrent...
Chu Yuan rolled his eyes: "Don't play these spooky tricks with me here. I hate it most when people try to act all mysterious in front of me!"
"Then... unfortunately, we are enemies."
Chu Yuan didn't bother with her, only instructing Commander Feng: "When we go out later, hit anyone you see!"
"...Alright!"
ink shadow slashed toward the door, a wisp of Sword Qi grazing Daisha's neck, and then her head rolled off;
The long sword slammed into the darkness behind the door, energy exploded, and a hideous shadow flashed by.
But by this time, Chu Yuan had already rushed out...
The scene inside the manor had long since changed from before; the smooth floor tiles had turned into jagged, strange rocks, and the outer walls had long since disappeared;
Where was there any manor left? They were clearly in a lifeless wasteland... Aside from those dried corpses scattered around, there were only a few monsters...
A few monsters that looked like humans but crawled on all fours.
They dragged a long tail behind them, roaring at Chu Yuan and Commander Feng...
Chu Yuan, of course, didn't indulge them; his vast Divine Sense smashed down unreasonably!
In an instant, only a few dull explosive sounds were heard, and the heads of these few monsters burst open all at once...
Commander Feng had remembered Chu Yuan's instructions to hit whoever he saw upon entering, but he hadn't expected Chu Yuan's actions to be so swift; he didn't even have a chance to strike;
However, he didn't relax, saying in a deep voice: "Chu Yuan, we're in trouble! This is the Desolate Demon Secret Realm... We must get out quickly!"
Chu Yuan nodded: "I know... It's not that troublesome."
He hadn't expected to enter the Desolate Demon Secret Realm so soon, but one must eat a meal bite by bite, and tasks must be done step by step; now was not the time to execute the Secret Realm mission;
Commander Feng was just about to ask what to do when he suddenly saw the scene in front of him twist;
The wasteland dissipated like a phantom, and the original manor appeared before their eyes again...
"This... when did you...?"
"Didn't I say? I discovered it when that trash Puppet was setting up the formation earlier." Chu Yuan was still not idle, casually saying while pinching hand seals;
"This way, let's go!" He looked up in one direction.
"Where is this?"
"I don't know where it is either, but that lunatic's true body is right there."
He didn't pay attention to the others in the banquet hall anymore, even though the banquet hall was already a living hell...
Daisha hummed a nursery rhyme softly, one hand supporting her own head to prevent it from rolling off again;
The other hand held a mop, dipping it into the blood all over the floor to paint on the walls... The owners of these 'paints' lay on the ground, their desperate eyes following the 'brush' as it moved, like the most loyal of spectators.
The time was too short; they hadn't completely died yet;
Therefore, they were able to carefully savor this despair...
However, some still harbored fantasies in their hearts, believing that Commander Feng would return to save them!
After all, it was Commander Feng who had invited them here. For the Phantom Demon to dare commit murder here was not only stepping on Commander Feng's face but also damaging the dignity of the Great Qin Zhenwu Bureau!
It was just that they wouldn't be able to wait for it...
...
"Mysterious, cruel, ferocious, gentlemanly... no matter what kind of persona it is, it needs a common foundation to support it, and that is... strength!
Otherwise, it's just a ridiculous clown, a wild dog on the side of the road; the more one pretends to be mysterious, the more vicious a beating it will attract..." Inside the golden rainbow, Chu Yuan sighed;
He had always heard of powerhouses with distinct personalities, or those with some quirks, or those with volatile temperaments, making people revere them even more than ordinary powerhouses;
Even those who offended them would rather die quickly than fall into their hands.
But in the eyes of even stronger individuals, they were just annoying enough to want to slap them a couple of times;
No wonder the powerhouses in Great Qin that he had come into contact with all had such normal personalities...
"..."
"Old Feng, am I right?"
"..."
"What exactly is the origin of this Phantom Demon? He's acting so pretentious he doesn't even know what heaven and earth are anymore?"
What level is he, to dare share a name with my precious equipment?
"..."
"Old Feng, why aren't you talking? Do you have an opinion about me?"
"...Fly... fly slower..." Commander Feng said, out of breath;
Just to keep up with Chu Yuan's speed, he had already exhausted all his strength; how could he have time to reply?
This golden light... what level of movement Martial Skill is it?
"...Alright, we're here." Chu Yuan kicked open the door of the church in front of them with a bang;
"Wild dog, you're very arrogant!"
In an instant, the Glazed Void Domain descended!
Seven-colored ripples enveloped the church, appearing like a dream...
